该计划提供了一个密集的为期五周的夏季教育计划， 小学高年级、初中和高中的海洋科学 教师 该计划旨在为教师提供一个通用的 海洋科学的知识，现场和实验室工作的想法，他们 可以在他们的课堂上实施，最重要的是， 在海上工作和生活的经验，这将建立信心， 他们对主题的理解。 为期三周的岸上部分将在伍兹霍尔举行， 将包括一个密集的50小时课程的讲座，实验室， 研讨会和海洋科学实地考察。 本课程将 强调物理、化学、地质学和生物学的基本概念 可以通过对海洋的研究传达给学生。 它将 旨在制定在联合国系统内实施的课程， 教室 此外，两个简短的系列讲座-一个题为 "马萨诸塞州和海洋"和其他各种主题的航海 科学-将提出，以提高随后的 教师在海上的经验。 课程的最后两周将在船上度过， 装备齐全的海洋研究船，R/V向西， 开展研究项目的实践经验， 参与了为数不多的"高舰"之一的行动， 实践海洋研究将建立对科学的信心， 参与者获得的知识，并将刷新和振兴 他们的教学。

This program offers an intensive five-week summer educational program in Marine Sciences for upper elementary, junior high and high school teachers. The program is designed to provide teachers with a general knowledge of Marine Sciences, ideas for field and lab work that they could implement in their classrooms and, most importantly, a practical experience of working and living at sea that would build confidence in their understanding of the subject. The shore-based, three-week component will be held in Woods Hole and will consist of an intensive 50-hour course of lectures, labs, workshops, and field trips in Marine Sciences. This course will emphasize the basic concepts in physics, chemistry, geology, and biology that can be conveyed to students through studies of the oceans. It will be directed towards development of curricula to be implemented in the classroom. In addition, two short lecture series -one entitled "Massachusetts and the Sea" and the other on various topics in Nautical Science - will be presented in order to enhance the subsequent experience that the teachers will have at sea. The final two weeks of the course will be spent on board a fully equipped oceanographic research vessel, the R/V Westward, where the practical hands-on experience of carrying out research projects and participating in the operation of one of the few remaining "tall ships" that practice marine research will build confidence in the scientific knowledge the participants have gained, and will refresh and revitalize their teaching.
